An herbal syrup that works great in cocktails, tea, and lemonade.
It does take some time to prepare so plan ahead. Comes out better if the mixture is shaken throughout the day while it infuses.
This syrup helps make a fantastic riff on a Bee's Knees but you may also find yourself adding it to unsweetened tea just as often!
